When Umbridge caught the D.A.'s coming out of the room and brought
Harry to Dumbledore's office where she presented the list of names of
Dumbledore's Army as evidents, I couldn't understand why they didn't
use the most obvious explaination to discredit that piece of evidence.

It's the 'Room of REQUIREMENTS'! It's a room that manufactures or
creates what ever you require. If you were hungry, it would be full of
food; the room would make the food. If you had to go to the bathroom,
it would create chamber pots. If you needed evidence to convict
someone; the room would create the evidence.

Since Dumbledore, based on his previous comments at the Yule Ball,
doesn't seem to have full knowledge and understanding of this room; it
seems reasonable that certainly Umbridge and Fudge wouldn't. 

So I don't see why Harry didn't just explain what the room does, and
that since Umbridge was looking for evidence to convict Harry, the
room just created what she needed. HOWEVER, since the room will create
what you need, regardless of what you need, there is know way of
knowing if it is genuine, or a ficticious fabrication of the room.

Of course, that blows the whole story line apart, but still that's was
I was thinking as the scene unfolded.

just a thought
